ARTIST STATEMENT:
I believe that art is a way of bringing new ideas into the world. Whether it is art that expresses a mood or tells a story, it is a form of Communication. Since the human figure is the main tool we use to communicate with the world, it is the main focus of my art. My paintings are about contact with the outside world and the difference between self and environment. I do not conform to one school of painting and my influences include everything from Egon Schiele to Caravaggio and Durer. I combine expressive new styles with a respect and understanding of classical forms.
